Build Thread "Rising from Ashes" 94 Cobra build thread

[Noobz347]

Thought about that but never enough hrs in the day

Do you have a pattern or do you mostly free-hand them?

They look better than the off-the-shelfers I've seen. They're more perfect for a 4-Eye Fox than a 94.

I free hand them. I usually do 1 inch, 1.5 inch or 2 inch diamonds. Here's some 1 inch (smaller) and 1.5 inch diamonds I've done. All mine are custom stitched and wont be mistaken for mass run crap mostly out there

That bottom one is super nice. That red stitch is what I was talking about. Looks awesome.

Its a game of inches…or in this case 1/16 of an inch. 10 point certified cage, mini tubbed and a full interior. Sounds like a challenge. None of this fits like this without a ton of planning.

There is NO WAY that is fun to work on with that cage in there... I imagine everything must take 5 times longer just working around the cage. For the door bars, you planning to put a PPF on them to keep from scratching them getting in and out?

Whats really a pain in the butt and takes 5x longer is detaiing every single piece like this. Swapped for the bigger one to match the driveshaft so of course its got to be powdercoated. But if I dont now I’ll just have to go back and do it.

I don't think we want to see Kevin wearing that... just saying.

Old Joke

 

[RaggedGT]

Right. But I improved it because I had to add a sensor.

Would you happen to know the fittings you used so I can copy you and add a second sender myself?

I just grabbed spare fittings.
Probably would be easier to just make
One and actually send you

Cover on and looks
Right at home.

Always got to stop progress and detail

No ugly factory bolts on this car

 

[bird_dog0347]

The aluminum driveshaft just got a few ounces heavier.

Ounces….ha ha! At least a pound of clear

Deivetrain officially set and bolted together. Fluids filled for T-56 and 8.8

I wish I had time to derail my cars like that. Your cars are better than 90% of the magazine cars I used to drool over in the 90s.

Appreciate that man

Everyone leaves e brake cables off with 13 inch wheels and mini tubbed. I just made them work to prove them wrong.
